The way you fund it, of course, is to further tax the higher end of the income bracket. It's an innocuous way of redistributing wealth. It helps everyone but the very wealthiest, which are the ones who need it the least. Jobs are not the answer, at least in my mind. A universal basic income would allow people to spend some time possibly developing a passion that they love, not slaving away at a job which is at best given out of pity, and at worst a waste of time which they are obligated to attend at a negative cost to everybody. A universal basic income is upfront and direct about its purpose.
